NLM at MEDIQA 2021: Transfer Learning-based Approaches for Consumer Question and Multi-Answer Summarization

Abstract: The quest for seeking health information has swamped the web with consumers' healthrelated questions, which makes the need for efficient and reliable question answering systems more pressing. The consumers' questions, however, are very descriptive and contain several peripheral information (like patient's medical history, demographic information, etc.), that are often not required for answering the question. Furthermore, it contributes to the challenges of understanding natural language questions for automatic… Show more

“…Ben Abacha et al (2021) organized the MEDIQA-21 shared task challenge on CHQ, multi-document answers, and radiology report summarization. Most of the participating team (Yadav et al, 2021b;He et al, 2021;Sänger et al, 2021) utilized transfer learning, knowledgebased, and ensemble methods to solve the question summarization task. Yadav et al (2021a) proposed question-aware transformer models for question summarization.…”

“…The majority of the current summarization datasets are either based on the news articles (e.g., CNN/Dailymail [4] arXiv:2206.06581v2 [cs.CL] 15 Jun 2022 and Multi-News [5] datasets where headlines are treated as summaries) or the scientific literature ( e.g., PubMed [6], BioASQ [7] datasets where abstracts of the articles serve as summaries). While significant efforts have been made in the open-domain summarization, there are only a few works [8,9,10,11,12] in summarizing the CHQs. This is partially due to the lack of availability of the human-annotated training datasets.…”
